THE CLUB FOR
ADVENTUROUS
EATERS


Come explore all there is to eat in New York.

THE GASTRONAUTS

Welcome to the Gastronauts, New York's club for hungry and adventurous eaters. Get ready to eat!

Together we'll explore the amazing food our city has to offer. We will venture far into the reaches of Queens, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and even Staten Island and find the most delicious unusual dishes from all over the world. Once a month—always on a Tuesday—we put together a special menu featuring adventurous dishes from tripe to sea squirts, from bat snails to insects and much, much more. Our club has 15 years of dinners under its belt. The pandemic made everything harder—but it's time to come back. Sign up for our mailing list and we'll let you know about our next dinner. See you then!
